I'd go with the following lineup (but I'm not PP) :
BYRNE
PERRITT J.JONES. BAINES. E.JONES
HULME. LUNDSTRAM. MARRIOTT. SINCLAIR
OYEDELE
LINNEY
Subs : Gould, Ferguson, Pringle, Osborne, Goodson
I fancy a 2-2 draw.
-
One foot, I agree.
Long slog to get there and any points gained will be a bonus.
-
It will the go to 4-2-3-1 with that 11.
Eastleigh were quite poor at our manor but a draw would a decent point.
Eastleigh 2-2 Alty (Sinclair, Hulme)
-
Same 11, but would have Hugill on the bench.
Hoping he gives Linney the full 90. Need to be getting him up to speed for the entire 90. Surprised he was subbed over Hugill at York, he was getting us forward.
Marriott, Lundstram and Oyedele played well again on Tuesday. I like those three together, albeit Maxi plays no.10 but does drops to win balls back.
Still feel we are a wide player short. At least an option on the bench, maybe that is Goodson.
-
Eastleigh are very strong at home (played: 19; won: 13; drawn: three and lost: three), where they have accumulated 42 points out of their current total of 60.
They have a habit of winning 1-0.

Desmond.

Desmond.
I think we’d all take that.

I'd start with the team above, but we could do with Linney scoring a handful between now and the end of the season, rather than starting about bagging 8 and being on other clubs summer radar.
-
JJ to head a header
-
The more I think about it, the more I think he might try the three at the back again - especially away from home.
It got the wing backs right up the pitch.
Maybe that's why Linney was withdrawn the other night, because he plays in both systems.
-
Hulme for Linney the only change to the starting eleven.
Bennett for Cashman sole change for the bench.
Come on you Supers!

Partially correct I suppose!
Come on lads - a point will do nicely but let's wait and see.

Yet another Byrne howler according to Radio Robins
-
Radio Robins commentary really irritating today. 1) because it keeps cutting out and 2) because the commentator seems to find Alty playing badly is somehow funny.
-
We're still in this!
-
Why on earth do we keep getting musical interludes during commentary it’s really annoying and amateurish.

Because it’s free and run by well-intentioned amateurs.

Well, perhaps not now. 🙄😕
-
Really frustrating……the constant interruptions. I suspect that they are running an automation programme of some sort and still have not sorted out how to program it during games.

I think the signal at the ground must be terrible. The stream is also at around 25fps and keeps dropping after it got working 20 mins in.
-
Why the hell are we not starting Linney and Sinclair? We really are missing width.
Going to knock Linney's confidence. He hasn't even had a bad game.
Lundstram needs to be central with Marriott. Osborne shouldn't be starting, poor decisions being made and then we end up chasing games.
Jones CB and not out right.
Need to work on balls into the box, it is a joke how many we concede.
We have a week until Southend. Should have started our best 11 and that wasn't it. Frustrating.
-
My conclusion of to this season and this division is that you don't need to be good to win, you just need to be less sh!t than the the other lot.

It's the signal. The music is programmed to kick in when the signal drops. Professional broadcasters use ISDN lines or 4G/5G boxes that have multiple SIMs and hunt the best signal from every available network. Most non league grounds don't have ISDN lines and the equipment to ride multiple mobile networks is far from cheap. That means we have to rely on a single 4G/5G network or the club's own WiFi - and that, inevitably, means some dropouts at some grounds.
-
Got it. Thanks for the tech update.
-
According to the BBC sport live guide BBC Radio Kent managed to carry online commentary of Ebbsfleet, Dover and Maidstone today. Radio Surrey had Woking, Aldershot and Dorking. Time to be lobbying Radio Manchester. They don't even need to provide the staff.

Kent have only one EFL club (Gillingham) while Surrey don't have any. Radio Manchester's catchment area has considerably more clubs higher up the pyramid than us.

Can't see it happening for exactly the reason above. Radio Robins is awesome, all things considered.

Couldn't agree more.
A heartfelt thank you so much to all who make it possible! 👍

Would be interesting to know if anyone has actually pitched them about it though. We are talking about online which they don't do for the league clubs. Alty already have their own commentators so its not like BBC would have to pay for any. All that's needed is the tech. Some people round here seem to give up very easily.

If you'd been offered our current situation five or six years ago when we were losing to Matlock you'd have jumped at it, or at least I'd hope you would.

Back to the game today and I thought we played pretty well. E Jones was superb going forward and defensively. We should have won but for gifting them a head start and the unbelievable decision not to award a penalty when the defender not only booked the shot with his arm but then lay on the floor holding the ball in his arms until he realised ref hadn’t given the pen so he let go of it and somehow still got away with it.
Ref was ok until last 15 minutes when he lost the plot after stoping play because their player smacked a free kick straight into his mates face, ball rebounded to us. No need to stoop play for that and then restarted play with ball at their feet. Two of the most bizarre bits of refereeing I’ve seen for a long time.
Osbourne is too slow for this league. I’d rather start linney than hugill
-
A proper "you're the ref" situation. I suppose he had to stop the game because of a possible head injury, but I'd like to know what the laws of the game say about drop balls these days. So far as I'm concerned, it should be a proper contested drop ball unless both teams agree otherwise (and I seem to remember a certain Nwankwo Kanu scoring a goal instead of giving the ball back in a cup tie between Arsenal and Sheffield United), but I'm not sure that this happens these days.
-
Rule is drop hall at feet of team in possession when whistle went. Opposition at least 4m back I think. Even if you do over react to the hall hitting someone it’s not hard to check who has the hall when you blow the whistle

That may well be the case, but we have always been at the mercy of the home club’s Wi-Fi. Since Radio Robins has changed to the Radio Alty platform the quality of service/ reception has declined. Yesterday was particularly frustrating and probably the worst so far.
The original platform used may not have been perfect but in my view was more reliable than the current Radio Alty platform.
-
Listened on RR, appreciate the service. Seen brief highlights on BT Sort, poor start by us, need to do better as Parky says. Got back into the game and Hulme very unlucky with the offside goal a good finish, looked a clear penalty to me. Not sure where ref was, but strange not given. I assume Hugill is playing to build him up for the semi with match practice. I would also suggest Tyrese is carrying a knock, so being used sparingly. We miss MWH and need a fb at rb. Hopefully in close season we can get another winger in and hope we can sign Tyrese up. Kosylo will hopefully be back at No10 next season and firing on all cylinders. Need another keeper to challenge Ollie.

I'm loath to criticize as I know a lot of work goes into RR and the quality of the signal at the ground, both Wi-Fi or mobile, will always dictate the service uptime. However, using the previous MixLr service did seem more reliable - I'm not sure why that wasn't continued and Radio Alty just picked up and broadcast that. There was a cost to MixLR though. The branding of RR through Radio Alty has probably increased the audience a lot but it seems to be to the detriment of the service reliability. I hasten to add, the quality of the actual commentary and content has always been superb.

I have flashscore running as well as listening to RR,and i was able to pick up that they had scored their first goal while the music was playingFour of us meet up on face book in a chat room that was set up By DA i think.so was able to post that they had scored.
-
I don't think I'm going to get too stressed about losing by the odd goal away to a team inside the playoffs - although obviously the manner in which we go about it is always going to hold its frustrations.
I do think it's worth experimenting with a different system because we should have more of a Plan B now that we're full time and have the perfect opportunity to drill it in competitive situations.
Similar to others I think my own front two would be Sinclair and Linney, especially given they were the two in particular that were unplayable when we were in blistering form. Both can play up front and would probably suit not having to do it all themselves, especially given they'd be expected to run the channels as part of that system.
Once we have Miles Welch-Hayes back - or possibly even Ross Barrows who can play at wing back - then the first thing I'd do is move Lundstram back to the middle - although I'm sure the management are aware of that.
